A Legacy Rooted in East Texas Energy
Arcadia’s story began shortly after the legendary East Texas Oil Field discovery of 1928 — one of the largest and most transformative finds in U.S. history. By the 1970s, during the height of the energy boom, Arcadia operated more than 350 wells across Texas, supported by three field offices and four supply stores. The company earned its reputation through successful field developments such as the Ann McKnight Field and Bellwood Lake Field, blending technical expertise with local stewardship.
Today, that pioneering spirit continues through Arcadia Operating, LLC, the active exploration and production arm of the Arcadia group. Operating more than 120 wells across Texas and Louisiana, the company is once again in expansion mode — growing both its production base and environmental compliance portfolio.
Details of the Permit Transfer
According to the official filings, all 38 air permits transferred from Grit Oil & Gas to Arcadia were categorized as Air New Source Review (NSR) Change of Ownership projects under Permit by Rule (PBR) classification. The assets fall under Region 10 – Beaumont, with the majority located near Jasper and Brookeland, Texas.
Among the transferred sites are several well-known production units, including:
- ARCO Fee Unit A series (A215, A222, A232, A580)
- Blackstone Minerals Unit A series (A977, A979, A981)
- Additional legacy sites tied to ARCO Blackstone and Ann McKnight Field developments
All permits are recorded as complete, ensuring seamless regulatory continuity and operational readiness as Arcadia assumes full stewardship of the assets.
The Strategic Significance
The transaction underscores Arcadia’s long-term growth vision — focusing on operational expansion through acquisitions that fit its geographic expertise and legacy footprint. For Grit Oil & Gas, the transfer represents a strategic consolidation, enabling Arcadia to revitalize proven East Texas wells with new investment and modernized field management.
With its portfolio now strengthened by these Jasper County permits, Arcadia is positioned to deepen its presence in the Beaumont regulatory region, leveraging nearly a century of technical experience to optimize production and sustainability in a historically rich oil corridor.
Looking Ahead
As Arcadia builds upon its heritage and scales for the future, this acquisition signals more than an operational milestone — it’s a reaffirmation of the company’s enduring commitment to Texas energy. By combining legacy assets, modern compliance, and forward-looking management, Arcadia Energy Resources continues to embody the resilience and innovation that have defined the Texas petroleum industry since 1929.
